| "Swedish Candle". Three axial chainsaw cuts. Build a small fire on top of the log. Embers drop down. Length of cuts is enough to pull a draft. |
Alternate method: Split log into quarters or sixths. Re-assemble the wedges but in a different order so they don't fit line-to-line. Bind them with a couple wraps of wire. Light small fire on top.
Work-from-home

| Healthcare jobs have the lowest rates of unemployment world-wide. Delivering babies and changing bandages is hands-on work. You cannot phone-in your performance. |
I heard a lot of griping from people who were working "essential services" jobs curing Covid and had to keep working their minimum wage + $5/hr jobs. They were griping because people who made three times their wages could sit at home and get government checks or they could work-from-home via the internet.
So, guess which jobs are difficult for AI to replace? Pharmacy techs, nurses, dudes stocking Kroger's shelves, truck drivers, plumbers and factory workers.
All of those non-essential workers and people who gleefully agreed to work-from-home volunteered to be in the first tier of employees displaced by AI.
But fear not. They can always work in the organic farm fields pulling weeds.
Leverage
There was a thread in a previous post exploring "How can regular people be effective in these tumultuous times?"
Arguing endlessly with the "tools" and "ratchets" on the internet isn't effective. It doesn't change anybody's minds and the t&r enjoy the feeling of power.
To be effective, the people who need to be converted or replaced are elements in the Command-and-Control structure.
A short (and incomplete) list:
- Judges
- Clerks who assign cases (The odds of Boasberg randomly getting four Trump EO challenges in-a-row is approximately 1-in-38,000)
- County and Township clerks who run elections (the clerk of Ingham County is a proud, hard-left activist)
- School boards
- HR departments
- Credentialing organizations (States threatened to remove doctor's credentials if they didn't toe-the-line during Covid)
- People corrupting Wikipedia entries by larding articles with language that changes their meaning
With regard to the last category on the list, the Left immediately pivoted to "Both sides are guilty of political violence" and then hold up the murder of Melissa Hortman, a Minnesota State Senator as their (only) example.
The article was modified/written to front-load information where "experts" and "a neighbor" speculated that the perp was a hard-right, MAGA extremist. It also noted that he was registered as a Republican in 2004. Parenthetically, Donald J. Trump was a registered Democrat in 2004.
The evidence that the perp had switched sides and was attempting to curry favor with Governor Walz (failed US VP candidate, by the way) was buried deeply (744 words deep) in the text and each piece of evidence was immediately "qualified" or diluted by low-quality commentary.
Since the perp fully expected to be killed in his assassination attempts, his "manifesto" is basically a suicide note which are generally considered to be very honest and are considered "admissible evidence" in criminal court cases.
That editing, that is, the ordering of the text and the one-sided "poisoning" of the evidence with partisan commentary gives talking heads like Jessica Tarlov air-cover to make statements like "The violence is from both sides".
The NPCs, tools and ratchets then take Tarlov's comments and use them to fill their echo-chamber.
Nobody believes anybody on anything anymore. If the commentator is on your side, they speak the word of God. If they are not explicitly and outwardly on your side, they're literal nazis. Thats how polarizing we have been made to think (by government and media, but I repeat myself).
ReplyDeleteThe one guy that would talk to anyone about anything, got shot. Talking really is over. The next conversations are merely preamble while people load magazines.
The Smith-Muntz act is a bigger deal than most people think, when did all this wackiness get started? Same time they repealed propagandizing your own people!
The fact that law even passed, shows you how little you should trust these miscreants! Every scumbag in Mordor On The Potomac should hang, save Massie.
Yes and no, A.
DeleteYes, a LOT of those cretins are cashing in. When you see idiots and morons like AOC and Pelosi amassing tens of millions of dollars in their personal fortunes…we all know the drill, same as when the Repubs do it.
But the other card being played is this: if you were a Congress critter and I needed to influence you… I have two options. I have the carrot - or the stick. Charlie Kirk got the stick. In fact, the story I have is that he was breaking with his big jewish donors over the doings in Gaza. Immediately after the shooting, one of them in the area reportedly took off on a private jet… and turned off his transponder which is illegal. Pilots and companies get sued for millions doing stuff like that. Where did he go, what did he do? No one is asking.
But this is how our leaders do things. They beat us with a stick that can’t be traced back to them, then throw it…and like spineless curs, we go barking after it to retrieve it for them. This is our fault because we tolerate it and let them get away with it.
They are not concerned one iota with us barking on the blogs and TV talk shows. The only cure for this is to beat them with that same stick, the same way. The problem with that is that the last white guy that did that was You-Know-Who with the funny mustache. Historical narratives are very careful in ignoring the subjects and authors of the books that he burned. Likewise, they ignore the activities and identities of the judges wrenches and tools he replaced or removed. We have been lied to for a very, very long time.
We are witnessing history, folks. Everyone has access to the truth now - if he’s willing to dig, as our esteemed blog host did above. Those who aren’t willing to dig and inform themselves will get propaganda. That will be the factions in any conflict ahead: the informed vs the lazy and stupid. It’s the same up here in Canada. Our confederation is teetering and may not survive.
We live in interesting times.
I just sent the last bullet point and commentary to Wiki. They sent me a request for funds and I thought that was a good answer.
ReplyDeleteTools are just tools Joe. Ratchets and wrenches do great things when properly used by men that know how to use and take care of them. I think we really need to go after the people fielding and wielding the tools. I’ll just leave that right there as I’d hate to raise suspicion about antisemitism and other heretical apostasy.
